hello again

Well, I've been away from the web for a while, and now I'm sitting here late at night, it's far too hot to sleep, so time to write my diary. Thank you for any comments I've recently received that I haven't personally replied to, I do appreciate them!

Lots of inconsequential bits and pieces have been going on; I got through a Brownie sleepover, with 5 and a half hours sleep (my lovely pink sleeping bag was very comfy); developed a new chocolate cake with my lovely sis (add whole milk, risky but worth it);

received a stellar late birthday present;

read 'Land Girls' which is really good, if a little silly;

tried baking a new cake (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's) Lemon and Poppy Seed from one of the sunday papers;

and finally, bought a Norwegian flag for a little Eurovision party on Saturday night.

GET OUT!!! You got the audio books! I was thinking of joining audible soley so I could listen and sew at the same time. That is a stellar present!

I very much want to make myself a pair of land girl breeches. I suppose I would look a bit silly walking around in them but I think they are really cute despite stories of them not drying well overnight and the girls getting blisters or frostbite or something on their knees.
